Product Description
CDK8-IN-1 is a potent and specific inhibitor of CDK8 with IC50 of 3 nM.
CDK8-IN-1 (CAS#: 1629633-48-2) is a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8). It exhibits an IC₅0 of 3 nM against CDK8. CDK8-IN-1 displays low systemic clearance, very good compound exposure, and oral bioavailability. The molecular weight is 255.20 with formula C11H₈F3N3O. This compound is used as a research tool for studying CDK8-mediated transcriptional regulation in cancer and other diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CDK8-IN-1 targets cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8), a component of the Mediator complex that regulates RNA polymerase II transcriptional activity. CDK8 is involved in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control, and various signaling pathways. Inhibition of CDK8 with an IC50 of 3 nM modulates transcription of target genes. The compound shows selectivity for CDK8 over other kinases.
ln Vitro
CDK8-IN-1 demonstrates potent in vitro inhibition of CDK8 with an IC50 of 3 nM. The compound shows selective inhibition of CDK8 enzymatic activity. As a small molecule kinase inhibitor, it effectively blocks CDK8-mediated phosphorylation of substrates. The compound exhibits good potency in biochemical assays. Purity is typically >97%.
ln Vivo
Oral bioavailability, excellent exposure, and low systemic clearance were demonstrated by CDK8-IN-1. Tmax for PO is 0.25 hours. IV and PO had respective average Cmax values of 9940 μg/L and 12740 μg/L. According to IV and PO, the computed AUC values are 9378 and 25952, respectively [1].
In vivo, CDK8-IN-1 demonstrates favorable pharmacokinetic properties including low systemic clearance, very good exposure, and oral bioavailability. Following oral administration, the tmax is 0.25 hours. The AUC values are 9378 for intravenous administration and 25952 for oral administration. The mean Cmax values are 9940 for intravenous administration. These properties support its use in in vivo studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for CDK8-IN-1 typically employ recombinant CDK8/Cyclin C kinase and appropriate peptide substrates. Kinase activity is measured using radioactive ATP (33P-ATP) or fluorescence-based detection methods such as ADP-Glo™ assay. Reactions are performed in kinase buffer at optimized ATP concentrations. The IC50 value of 3 nM is determined by measuring remaining kinase activity across a range of inhibitor concentrations. Assays are performed in triplicate with appropriate controls.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for CDK8-IN-1 involve treating cancer cell lines with varying concentrations of the compound (typically 0.001-10 microM range) for 24-72 hours. Readouts include cell viability measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays, assessment of CDK8 downstream target gene expression by qPCR or Western blotting, and evaluation of transcriptional activity using reporter assays. Phosphorylation of CDK8 substrates is assessed by Western blotting.
Animal Protocol
Dose-response studies in animal models for CDK8-IN-1 typically involve oral administration in rodent models. Pharmacodynamic studies assess target engagement and modulation of downstream biomarkers. Efficacy studies in disease models (e.g., cancer xenografts) involve daily oral dosing at various doses. Tumor growth inhibition, biomarker modulation, and survival are monitored. The compound's oral bioavailability supports convenient dosing regimens.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
CDK8-IN-1 exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic properties. It displays low systemic clearance and very good compound exposure. Following oral administration, the tmax is 0.25 hours. AUC values are 9378 (IV) and 25952 (PO), with mean Cmax values of 9940 (IV). These PK parameters indicate good oral bioavailability and excellent exposure profiles. The compound's molecular weight of 255.20 suggests favorable drug-like properties.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for CDK8-IN-1 is limited to research-grade handling information. As a kinase inhibitor, potential toxicities may include off-target effects. The compound shows favorable PK properties suggesting a reasonable safety profile. Standard safety precautions should be observed during handling including appropriate PPE and work in a fume hood. Comprehensive toxicology studies would be required for clinical development. The compound is for research use only.
